Hierarchical analysis of spatial pattern and processes of Douglas-fir forests using wavelet analysis

Creator:: Bradshaw, G. A.
Abstract:: There has been an increased interest in the quantification of pattern in ecological systems over the past years. This interest is motivated by the desire to construct valid models which extend across many scales. Spatial methods must quantify pattern, discriminate types of pattern, and relate hierarchical phenomena across scales. Wavelet...

Characteristics of soil organic matter in two forest soils

Creator:: Crow, Susan E.
Abstract:: Soil organic matter (SOM) is the terrestrial biosphere's largest pool of organic carbon (C) and is an integral part of C cycling globally. Soil organic matter composition typically can be traced directly back to the type of detrital inputs; however, the stabilization of SOM results as a combination of chemical...

Limits on aboveground net primary production, leaf area, and biomass in vegetational zones of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Gholz, Henry L.
Abstract:: Samples of mature vegetation from 8 of 12 major vegetational zones in Oregon and Washington, representing about 80% of the area of the two states, were studied along a latitudinal transect from the Pacific Coast to the east slopes of the Cascade Mountains. Six stands were in forest zones, one...

Vegetation characterization of three contrasting riparian areas : Williamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: McAllister, Lynne S., Dwire, Kathleen A., and Griffith, Stephen M.
Abstract:: Much of the native riparian vegetation of the Willamette Valley, Oregon, has been replaced with agricultural crops or invasive non-native plant species. Detailed information about current Willamette Valley riparian vegetation is generally lacking. Plant specie composition data are useful in a variety of applications, including condition assessment, environmental monitoring and...

Forest vegetation and soils of terraces and floodplains along the McKenzie River, Oregon

Creator:: Hawk, Glenn M.
Abstract:: A study of the McKenzie River floodplains, terraces and glacial outwash plains was undertaken to classify and describe the vegetation and soils of a previously little studied synecological unit. During the summer of 1971, 54 analytic vegetation and soil plots (stands) were studied. Cover and frequency of all trees, shrubs,...

Soil fungal hyphal dynamics and seasonal hypogeous sporocarp production in western Oregon Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Hunt, Gary, 1945-
Abstract:: Total length and biomass of fungal mycelium in the soil of a young Douglas-fir stand in the central Oregon Coast Range were estimated over 27 months with the agar-film technique. In a second study, phenology and taxonomy of hypogeous (belowground) sporocarps were studied over 32 months in a nearby, young...

Nitrogen, phosphorus and particulate matter budgets of five coniferous forest ecosystems in the western Cascades Range, Oregon.

Creator:: Fredriksen, R. L.
Abstract:: Nutrient and particulate matter balances were established for five ecosystems dominated by Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] in the western Cascades, Oregon. Carriers of N and P were particulate matter (dust in precipitation and sediment in streams) and dissolved matter in both precipitation and stream water. The input and outflow...

Fire history, fire regimes, and development of forest structure in the central western Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Weisberg, Peter J.
Abstract:: Fire history and fire regimes were reconstructed for a 450 km² area in the central western Oregon Cascades, using tree-ring analysis of fire scars and tree origin years at 137 sampled clearcuts. I described temporal patterns of fire frequency, severity, and size, and interpreted topographic influences on fire frequency and...

A characterization of unmanaged riparian overstories in the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Nierenberg, Tara R.
Abstract:: Riparian areas that can be used as reference sites on which to base goals of vegetation restoration have not been documented in the Oregon Coast Range. I examined the composition and distribution of unmanaged riparian overstories in the central Oregon Coast Range along nine streams which have experienced minimal disturbance...

Forest associations and secondary plant succession in the southern Oregon coastal range

Creator:: Bailey, Arthur Wesley, 1938-
Abstract:: Forest associations, secondary succession, and relationships of plant communities to Roosevelt elk were investigated. Stratification of vegetation into ecological units and an understanding of secondary succession by habitat-type were a necessary first step in investigations into browsing of conifers by elk. The study was jointly conducted by the Oregon State...
